Lawyers face personal liability and costs orders for presenting AI-generated fictitious authorities to the court.

Recent Singapore case law, including *Tan Hai Peng Micheal v Tan Cheong Joo* [2026] SGHC 49, demonstrates that courts are imposing personal costs orders against lawyers who submit AI-generated fictitious cases. The court holds that the duty to verify authorities is non-delegable, meaning lawyers cannot escape liability by blaming junior staff, paralegals, or the use of AI tools.

Why it mattersPractitioners must independently verify every legal authority and citation produced by generative AI to avoid personal financial sanctions and potential disciplinary action.

Ohin Construction and six personnel, including directors and qualified persons, face charges under the Workplace Safety and Health Act and Building Control Act following a 2025 sinkhole.

Why it mattersConstruction practitioners must ensure strict adherence to approved structural plans and immediate reporting of ground instabilities to avoid criminal liability under safety and building control statutes.
